Biography
Ahmad Awad bin Mubarak was born in 1968 in Aden, Yemen and gained a PhD in business administration from Baghdad University in Iraq. He then became a professor at Sana'a University in his native Yemen and he became chief-of-staff to President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi. On 7 October 2014 he was elected as the new Prime Minister of Yemen as a part of a peace deal with the Houthis and succeeded Mohammed Basindawa, but the Houthis refused to accept him and demanded a greater share of power and economical reform. Two days after he was made Prime Minister-designate, a suicide blast in Yemen's Tahrir Square killed 43 people, and Mubarak turned down the post.
